Golden Line Street, a photo from Prague, Bohemia

Photographer's Note

the Golden Lane (Zlata Ulicka) in the complex of Prague Castle. The street full of small houses built in Mannerism style at the end of the 16th century.
The street was created during the construction of northern fortification at the end of the 15th century. In 1597 the emperor Rudolf II decided to give the space there to the castle marksmen who guarded the fortification. But there were 24 marksmen and a lack of space. Therefore, the marksmen had to build very small houses for them and their families. The material they used was stone, mud, and wood. The emperor prohibited to build windows in the direction to the Deer Moat or to sell or rent the house to somebody else.

Hi Gregg,
Very nice atmosphere and light, the strange building that seems to hang down like the tower of Pisa, but the photo is straight. Great shot.
Cheers,
Valter

Hi Grzegorz
first of all, i really enjoyed your photo of the tibetan munk...nice work with that one.
in this scene, i feel as if the mood is what makes it remarkable.
As i'm viewing this, i'm waiting for some mysterious person to come walking out of the small narrow passage way. who knows what to expect next.
great atmosphere, and light control with the blue hour and the orange/yellow along the buildings.
great work
cheers
